History Repeats Itself

by cAmilla Wu

Have you forgotten your own heartbeat?

Have you forgotten your sincere promise?

Don’t you remember those leaping moments?

Don’t you remember those fascinating days?

I will stop this from happening.

Yes, and I know what you are thinking.

Please do not terrify.

I can read your mind.

Please do not panic.

I can read your mind.

There is no need to be sorrowful.

It only takes a second to figure it out.

History repeats itself.

Halt.

Right, and please make a stop.

I have been hearing the same lame excuses over and over again.

Stop.

I know.

I am an insider.

I know.

Just stop.

It only takes a second to figure it out.

History repeats itself.

 Halt.

Right, and please make a stop.

For someone like me who dwells in the world of literature has it all figured.
